The Fox network announced a new lineup on Monday that features shows from heavyweight producers J.J. Abrams, Seth MacFarlane and M. Night Shyamalan, along with a revival of the adrenaline-charged hit "24,"and a drama starring Greg Kinnear.

With former ratings juggernaut "American Idol" on the wane, Fox is hoping to reinvigorate its schedule. According to entertainment chief Kevin Reilly, the network is making its largest original-programming investment ever with a crop of 11 new series for the 2013-14 season.

But with the new comes a touch of the old. As previously reported, super agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) will return in a condensed version of "24" next May. Fox will air 12 episodes of "24: Live Another Day" as part of its new directive to offer event programming in the summer. A miniseries from Shyamalan called "Wayward Pines" starring Matt Dillon will air after the run of "24."

As for the fall, new offerings include "Almost Human," from Abrams' production company. It's a police drama set 35 years in the future, when officers are teamed with humanlike androids. The cast includes Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Lili Taylor.

Another fall drama is "Sleepy Hollow," a retelling of Washington Irving's classic 19th-century tale. Timid schoolmaster Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected 250 years in the future and discovers he must save the world from destruction.

On the comedy front, MacFarlane, known for animated hits such as "Family Guy" and "American Dad," will try his hand at a live-action sitcom with "Dads." It stars Seth Green and Giovanni Ribisi as best friends whose fathers (Martin Mull, Peter Riegert) become their new roommates.

In addition to "Dads," there's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," which pairs Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live") and Andre Braugher ("Men of a Certain Age," "Homicide: Life on the Street") as a hotshot detective and veteran captain.

Kinnear will take on his first broadcast network series in "Rake," playing a brilliant, but self-destructive defense attorney. "Rake" won't arrive until midseason.

Also of note: Fox announced that "New Girl" will get the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot when the network airs the big game on Feb. 2. In addition, the long-running crime drama, "Bones," will shift to Friday nights in late fall. A new "Masterchef" with youngsters aged 8 to 13 will also air on Fridays.

Shows canceled by the network include "Touch" and "Ben & Kate." In addition, "Cops" has moved to the Spike network.
